Hey there Kelly....
Yeah, BHP's are a different kind of animal.... for sure. Haha.

I believe the largest clutches I know of was 24...I think that one was with Jim Sargent and the other.. was a friend up in NY state. Paul Harris had a clutch of 21 this year.
It's few and far between but, can happen. I guess it really depends on the size of the females.

Follicle growth in BHPs can be mistaken for Ovulation a lot... Because of the massive growth size they go through during that time period.
I remember my first year with them...I about had a heart attack when I saw the actual ovulation! Haha. Much different than what I was used to.... with the Carpets, Bloods, burms, etc....

Sure are neat animals.
Love em'.

Cheers,
D.
